I would rather die than stop smoking.
And apparently I can't give up watching Fulham in Europe, swore I wouldn't do any European trips this year. But I was in Poland three weeks ago and today I'm booking up Enschede/FC Twente which is three weeks away as well.

did you manage to get kicked out of a whorehouse last time?

Didn't even go in one, let alone get kicked out.
We're doing a stop over in Amsterdam this time though cos it's only half hour away. An utter shithole I know, but an utter shithole with about a thousand opportunities to get kicked out of a brasshouse.

I like the concentric canals and wonky houses
but the homicidal cyclists and rude people I could do without.

I did not notice any of either
at least, no more so than I do in the UK. But then I've only been once and that was off season...

yeah the canals and wonky houses tend to winter in Verbier

I've never been.
But I just know it's the foreign equivalent of Blackpool.

I can think of no greater waste of money than watching a shit football team play in a shit league that they have no hope of winning

+ time
a shit
team play in a shit league that they have no hope of winning

What league?
This is a cup competition. A cup competition we have a great chance of winning and a cup competition where we got to the final last time round. It's all a moot point though because football is my last priority on these adventures.

league/cup it's all bent in the end

Football is rubbish, aye.
But when your shit team is blessed with the (ridiculously rare) opportunity of playing on the continent, it's not to be sniffed at. Not because the football will be any less boring, but because it's a chance for you and 2000 other people to experience something different for three days and have a laugh with your mates.
